Hello, Hello! It’s being one whole week since I updated my blog. YIKES. Let’s get the good news out there first! I won the Shaun T. diet bet yay! But getting there was not easy.
So Day 75 (Friday) I was in Osaka to go out clubbing with my friends. I had an amazing time AND I WAS COMPLETELY SOBER. I know now without a doubt that alcohol is not necessary and probably something I shouldn’t partake in (or significantly decrease) until I achieve my goal. (16kgs down, 17 more to go!!! I can’t wait till the number I have lost is bigger than the one I have yet to lose. That has NEVER happened to me!) It’s only going to get harder from here on out.
Anyways, the day after (Saturday – day 76) I went shopping. Since its golden week here in Japan we have Monday through Wednesday off (hence why I didn’t update). Golden is also when everything goes on sale! I went into a clothing store that had clothes for 70 percent off. Now I should mention. I love shopping, but I rarely if ever do it. Why? Because, I hate the way that I feel when I am trying on clothes. That feeling when you see something cute only to notice that it’s not in your size or that you try it on only to realize that it doesn’t look good on you because you are too big is an awful feeling. But Saturday was amazing!!! I bought a pair of shorts for goodness sakes! In Japan no less! LIKE WHAT?! And I bought all of these cute tank tops and shirts! I was so happy and I felt so good. Of course I picked out things that didn’t quite fit me but that didn’t make me feel bad because I felt good. I felt strong. I felt like for once I was getting my self worth from the inside and not from the outside. It’s amazing what losing just 10 kilos can do to your mindset and yourself esteem. It’s not necessarily the kilos themselves that make you feel good but the work that is behind it. I worked damn hard and I’ve run over 35o kilometers since starting diet bet. This weight loss is no coincidence! Clothes no longer have that power over me. They serve to enhance my figure not make me feel bad. That’s the most important thing. I went kind of calorie crazy that day though lol. Had pizza, a fruit tart, a big breakfast. I did not stick to my calorie goal to say the least lol.
Day 77 (Sunday) I also went calorie crazy (vacations are the devil when it comes to staying within your calorie range). I had cake and coffee with a friend and later had dinner with her which basically consisted of fried egg rolls. Delicious, but calorie heavy. I slept over and they gave me breakfast. Day 78 (Monday) was a bit overboard as well lol. (There’s something about taking me out of my routine that screws me up.) We had tempura for lunch. Tempura is basically deep fried dishes. Thankfully they were mostly vegetables but it was still fried. I didn’t eat dinner that day lol.
Day 79 (Tuesday), Day 80 (Wednesday), and Day 81 (Thursday) I put in some SERIOUS work. I knew I had to. I was more religious about my water, workouts, and calorie intake. I also slept more. I figured if I am not awake that I am not eating lol. BUT I MADE IT. .1kg over my goal. It was not easy and way too close for comfort.
Day 82 (Friday) – After weighing in and having it verified I proceeded to eat breakfast and make a delicoious sandwich for lunch. YAY CARBS. I got home and ate dinner (basically put all the things that were about to go bad together LOL) it was delicious. But then friends came over and I went calorie crazy… I had sugar, a lot of sugar in the form of chocolate covered marshmallows and I also had half of a pizza. Mind you I had eaten breakfast already. SIGH. I guess that was my body rebelling against me for being so strict with myself for the past three days lol. Regardless I will get back on the wagon and I will lose these last 17 kgs.
p.s. I signed up for the Powell Challenge!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
p.p.s I won’t be posting up my nutrition and stuff for the past week because its too much work lol.
